The No. 6 Nebraska wrestling team traveled to Iowa City, Iowa to take on the best of the best in college wrestling. And the Huskers were served some humble pie thanks to the Hawkeyes.
Top-ranked Iowa beat Nebraska 31-6 after winning the first six matches to go up 24-0. Iowa showed why they’re at the top. And to be honest, the gap between them and the rest of the field is quite wide. I expect Iowa to do this to many of the top teams this dual season.

ANNOUNCERS: Shane Sparks and Jim Gibbons And we re back! It s been over 10 months since the last time Iowa wrestling competed in a dual meet (a 34-6 win over Oklahoma State in last year s regular season finale), but after a long absence, Iowa wrestling is finally set to be back in our lives tonight. Huzzah! Iowa gets the 2021 season underway with a visit from a a feisty border rival, #6 Nebraska. Nebraska-Iowa duals have often been chippy in recent years and there s no love lost between the Iowa and Nebraska coaching staffs; how will that dynamic play out in a Carver-Hawkeye Arena without fans? TBD, although we might be able to better hear any insults directed from one bench to the other.
